Born in 1972 Lives in Lancaster California I found my escape in Drawing back in high school during boring math classes.   I made gas money drawing peoples names in gangster graffiti style.   At age 20 I broke my neck in a diving accident where I drown and had a life changing talk with God.   God told me I could come back and do more work, the hitch is that I would have to do my work from a wheel chair.   Loosing the use of my hands and legs has lead me to learn how to draw by mouth from a wheel chair.   I also been trained in photography and digital...more

James Eye Draws By Mouth

Lancaster, CA - October 18th, 2013

After an accident that left me paralyzed 20 years ago, I knew that walking on water was maybe out of the question. I went back to school and got my BA only to not find work that could support my family. So back to the drawing board not the surf board. I always loved art and even worthless hands can't stop me. I am selling my work to move forward in this machine called life. When I broke my neck 20 years ago and drown, I got to chat with God. God let me return, but there was a catch. God offered me my life back in exchange for doing some work from a wheelchair. I argued with God over the chair. But he said "The human body is fragile, and that man had not developed the technology or understanding of a miracle of this kind". I am bitter from time to time and I see it in my work. But I also see joy and take pride in my work. It is a miracle that we are here and I just wanted to share my work and see who appreciates it.
